The dual outlet one. I will add a photo.

its actually a part from a VW 411/412 variant (square back). the y splitter.
if you can find one of those cars (almost as rare as a 914?) in a junk yard and the heater hoses are still there on the engine you could score one.

the 74-76 came with just one hose, left hand side in original form. the dual hose set up on the later cars is not a factory thing its a dealer and owner mod back in the day using the VW part. unique to the variant version of the 411/412.

In the US, it was the 73-74 cars that only had one hose.

The 75-76 cars used the splitter piece to feed both heat exchangers. I'm guessing that the factory probably recognized that the late-style ones were not as good as the early-style ones.

Not surprising that they used 411 or 412 parts, though. After all, the engine was designed for the 411 in the first place.

you got my curiousity up.
i have had a quick look at my 1.8 data.
with the proviso i have not looked much into the 75 info except to work out what was going with the dizzy hook up and throttle bodies as compared to the 74s.

there might be something in what you say. but its not that all 75s were fitted with the double hose fan set up.
could be that similar to the 74s there is staged introduction of parts and updates.

i've taken a quick look at what i have compiled.
what i am seeing is it could be that 75MY cars built in the 74 calendar year still got the single fan hook up same as 74MY. i have sept/oct/nov 74 build dates, very original low miles examples on file. with single fan.
and i pulled up one from may 75 near end of 75 1.8 production run and its got what looks like original parts twin hose. if not a factory instal then definitely using type 4 variant parts. has fine ribbed plastic hose still fitted to the long hose matching the short hose.

its entirely possible that some way through 75 MY production run they did a switch over.
i would need more reliable examples on file to get to a reasonable conclusion and pin point a changeover date. but i think its a distinct possibility.

however my info is limited to 1.8 L jet examples.
so i don't really compile anything on the 2.0 cars.
